    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    Hi Ultrafunkula, Going by this...? "'Keep current' - What this setting does when set at 60% is ramp the current down to 60% of the PAS level selected based on pedal cadence rpm, so at low pedal cadence you get 100% of the level selected but as your pedal cadence increases the power is reduced...

    Quite right Woosh. ....which is why I said before of my uncertainty regarding the warranty (via ELBC). It was a calculated purchase. I very much doubt contacting Szbaf Bafang direct in China with the motor number will prove fruitful? Parts will be available from China, but at what MOQ not sure...

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    It is a pretty early build motor, 2 years old showing build date Jan 2015! Here's hoping the early ones didn't have any problems. I like to think (hope) not. :) EDIT - read it wrong upside down, it's actually 10/15 so October 2015, so only year and few months since build. Better. These motors...

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    Direct at the website, higher up the thread. Although if you pay with c/c or use Ebay either may cost a little more but offer some protection if you feel you need. It turned up mighty fast I must say! I'm not sure how any warranty stands, but it's all pretty recognisable kit and I wouldn't...

    Like your thinking... I've had designs on this Nuvinci that I've had knocking around for a while, but needed a more road orientated 700C bike. It might just fit the bill :) Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    I couldn't resist a little eyeball. ;) At the price it'd be difficult to home build a similar level bike. Not my usual style of ride, but hey! First impressions after ten miles, still prefer the bbs01 and my bike, but it's pretty darn good. After 6080 miles my original bbs01 is still going...

    Bafang Display

    Totally agree Robwally, it's the controller setting making the decisions, not the display. Someone who recently changed from C961 to the colour display reported that the motor worked fine with the C961, but as soon as they changed to the DPC-14 the ride became lumpy and jolty. The description...

    The wonders of the Bafang BBS01/02/HD motors

    I recently had the delight of being able to help an ex-serviceman, who uses a recumbent Ice Trike for off-road fun. Since becoming a double amputee, he'd mainly been riding the trike along local fire roads, but quite understandably, found the dead-spots in the pedal stroke a real chore. He would...

    Yes, 5K OTT for me to spend on bike now, but think about the second hand market in 5 years. Plenty of time to get your battery pack building skills up to speed ;) Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

    Looks like the mutts dangly bits, if you ask me. It's great to see more proper manufacturers starting to put their skills into serious bikes like this :) Sent from here to there with computer wizardry.

    Hmmmm, I've not found that on mine thus far. Been running at 18A for a little while with no detrimental effect. I've checked the motor's temp (by touch) after stiff climbs or pushing the motor a bit and no hotter than slightly warm to the touch. Perhaps other settings you use may have a bearing...

    Bafang Max Drive bikes

    Sounds like a great build you have planned, will look forward to the updates and photos :) Personally, I'm still all about the BBSxx motor range. At present there are not many frames built specifically for the Max drive that interest me. The ability to move to another 68/73mm frame is brilliant...
